Ask Me Help Desk - AMHD layouts!

AMHD layouts!

I just found out that there is another option to choose from for AMHD layouts.

Ughhh... I like the additional features with the new ones but I can't bring myself to use it.

What am I doing wrong?

On the new layout I can't figure out the whole looking at new posts and/or zeroing in on certain topics!

Am I one of the only ones who uses the old settings still?

No, in fact, I hope someone answers this because I hate this new layout.

Which are you referring to ?

We have vB default, Light, Light V2 and FFstyle..

The while the first three are simply re-skins the last is a complete redesign of the site.

The one I'm looking at now has leaves on the side.

Oh wait. I just got it. I went to the settings box in the corner and in the lower right hand corner it said, "Take me back to the old settings. This is how AMHD was to viewed!

I like the light and the vbdefault the other layout and the new redsign is just too different and comfusing the crap out of me!

Welcome to the club of FF haters. ;)

Ben, don't hurt me, you know I can't stand FF, and I'm not alone.

It's been awhile since we had a meeting. :D

IT, you obviously aren't alone. However, on the bright side, GO/FF (whichever designation they are using now) doesn't impact us nearly as negatively as it did when it was first implemented. It has also gotten a lot better since then. :)

I hated it before you hated it.

It has, except for the comments, that feature still has a very negative impact on the old skin.

I hated it first before all of you.

Then where were you when we were all fighting against it? :rolleyes:

I still hate it more.

I was trying to figure out how to post and eventually I just quit trying.

Awww. Now I feel bad for you. A few other people got stuck in the new skin, lost their way. We haven't seen them since.

We've been told that 50% of users are forced into the new FF skin. I must be one of the really unlucky people, because every time I log in I'm directed to the FF skin. If it's only 50%, shouldn't I at least get the old skin once? So far it's new skin every time. At least I know where the safety button is, and I can get back to my beloved V2. :)

I'd log out and get the new skin 100% of the time too when I logged back in. Therefore, as a result, just to let you know, and to be perfectly clear, I no longer log out.

I heard this old phrase once. If it's not broke don't fix it.

Ya, we mentioned that repeatedly, but it didn't sink in. :(

At least they're keeping the V2 skin. At first there was talk about getting rid of it once the new FF skin was fully functional. When most of the long term users said they'd leave if that happened, they decided to keep it, so thank Dog for that.

Well, every time I log on, I am on the old skin.

If it is another computer that I log on from, it will take me to the new skin, however, I just go to the settings and click on take me to old skin.

Is everyone else pretty much using the new skin? I mean long term people, not newbies.

WG (me) uses the old skin.

I don't think any of the older members are using the new skin. If so, it's only a few.

I don't blame them. I once tried the new skin, didn't really care for it.

Thank you.;)

Well Hello Enigma, I don't believe we've met.

Hello:)

How are you? I see you have been a member for a while now, I just haven't had the pleasure of meeting you.

Consider yourself pleasured, you've just met me. I've been here for several years, so you know I'm exprencied.

Experienced and pleasured in the same sentence? Ooh La La ;)

50% my bottom! It's 100% log in on FF, switch to v2 for me also. We can't all be that unlucky...
Ok this is the FF haters club. So where's the fanclub? (not that I'm planning on joining - I just want to know if there's actually any members).

I don't think there's a fan club. No one likes it.

I just feel sorry for the newbies that are forced to use it, not knowing that there's a better skin out there.

Agreed Alty, however, what they don't know won't hurt them... Lol

But it does hurt them. They get yelled at all the time for using the Comment box for replies. And, as they answer, they run out of room and keep using new Comment boxes so their responses end up being spread out over three or four Comment boxes which can't be quoted or "rated."

GEEZ! I was gone a few hours at Meijers and you guys high-jacked my thread! AHHHHH :0 just kidding

But yes, I hate FF and I get so confused and believe me I am not easy to confuse. I am apart of many forums (don't judge me)
And AMHD's FF is like a blindman through a maze, clicking on buttons hoping they take me somewhere I'll recognize.

100% Lost in the sauce!

P.S. I'm drinking some beer so I could go for a nice maze run!

We did not hijack your thread! :eek: If we were chatting about Alty's bunnies or discussing Christmas dinner menus, that would be hijacking, but we're still talking about the new skin. That was the subject of your OP.

That is very true as I didn't even think of that.

Calm! I was kidding. Maybe I should give you a beer :) (if you drink IDK?)
Rolling Rock + AMHD + Warm Home = terrific winter night! (if I had a fireplace it would be the absolute greatest night)

Back to my OP. I hate FF

Ps. Another question. Does anyone else here think we should have the thread tool option to close a thread or mark a thread as closed? I do but the ideas was shut down like a 50lb turkey!

Oh, he's flirting again. :rolleyes:

J_9 I just realized you have over 27,000 posts. That is astounding(sp I think)

Do you have AMHD pop up on startup?

P.S. Still no luck finding your brother;)

I'll take a Rolling Rock in front of the fireplace at Cannonsburg.

I knew you were kidding. I used to know you back when. I'm a good German and can handle at least one beer. :) I'll take a Black Russian instead or a gin and tonic or rum and Coke plus the fluffy slippers and crackling fireplace and snoring dogs and cats.

I would meet you there! I'll bring the beer if you bring the fireplace lol

We've got the fireplace, the horseshoes and the beer. Just what, 6 miles down the road from you?

Dang, wish I were home about now. :(
